Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

The Lost Books of the Odyssey

For one who likes mythology and the classics like I do, this book is fabulous! Mason 'translates' recently found additional books and fragments of books to the Odyssey that range in length from one paragraph to several pages. Since they are not a continuous story, it's easy to read a chapter, put it down (though I didn't want to!) and return to it later. I loved the twists and turns of "The Other Assassin" and "The Stranger" which prove just how intensely Mason lived with the text and how inventive his mind is. I've done something with this book that I haven't done with many others: I've given copies to friends as gifts! Since people's taste in reading material is often so personal, I am generally reluctant to actually give books to people; recommendations, yes, but not the books themselves. This one's different. Everyone who received my gift enjoyed it as much as I did.

I love the vignettes Zachary Mason creates! The little tweaks to the story are amazing... like any mythology, it can be seen from different POVs and Mason writes these with incredible liveliness. One of my favorites is The Other Assassin; another is The Stranger. Some are only a paragraph long, but all are thought-provoking.
